So yeah,
I should explain this image.
See, it’s been a pretty hectic month so far. You’d think it’d be all over with, you know, the wedding and such being done. Sad to say, things kinda continued to rollercoaster down that long path of “holy crap”.
Today is August 10th, 2010. My mom’s birthday.
Another year older, another year wiser.
And she’s spending it in the hospital with a blood infection. I can’t take my daughter in to see her, and I’m frustrated. I’m frustrated because the reason she HAS this infection is because she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
It’s hard to put into words exactly how I feel about this, or how it’s affected myself and my family. I have a new appreciation for all those that have suffered and survived through this terrible ordeal. I mean that sincerely, and not just to those whom it’s physically effected, but those who’s lives have been drastically altered because someone whom they dearly love or care for has had to deal with this. It takes one hell of a strong person to get through this.
I’d also like to thank those who sit back and take it all in, and are willing to offer their care and concern to those who are battling with whatever demons they come across during these trying times. I’d personally like to thank each and everyone of you who has given me words of kindness, and hope. You know who you are, and I’ll never be able to properly thank you for the comfort and support you’ve offered myself and my family. We’ll be forever grateful.
So yeah. My mom is an awesome woman, and I love her. She’s tough, and she’ll hang through it.
We all will
Happy Birthday Mom, and here’s to many …. many more.
